Labyrinth
Semargl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken mirrors reflect a hopeless fear.
On every turn you face another fail,
On every step you face another trap.
Again and again and again...
Cry, cry, baby, cry,
You're in my labyrinth.
Here you will die.
No way out from my labyrinth:
Chase by madness, you escape from yourself.
Trying to steal my mind you fall into the trap of lie.
Now you will suffer from my flout... forever
And ever and ever and ever...
The song "Labyrinth" by Semargl seems to be exploring the idea of being trapped in a maze with no way out. The opening line "no way out from my labyrinth" sets the tone for the whole song. The use of broken mirrors reflects a hopeless fear which may imply that the fear is coming from oneself. Every turn in the labyrinth results in facing a failed attempt to escape while every step leads to another trap. This may imply that the singer is being deceived by their own mind, luring them further into hopelessness. The chorus repeats "cry, cry, baby, cry, you're in my labyrinth, bye, baby, bye, bye, here you will die," this could mean that the singer is stuck in this labyrinth forever and that there is no way out.
The second verse starts with "no way out from my labyrinth" solidifying the idea that there is no escape, while the line "chase by madness, you escape from yourself" creates a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singer is trying to steal the mind of the person who created the labyrinth perhaps in hopes of escaping, but ends up falling into the trap of lies. Now the singer is condemned to suffer forever, trapped in this labyrinth. The song ends with the repetition of "and ever and ever and ever," making it feel like there is no end to the suffering. Overall, "Labyrinth" is a dark and haunting song that explores the fear of being trapped with no way out.

Very different. But a bands got to expand their music. And actually more times then ever, bands are actually sell outs in the beginning then make the music they actually wanted to because they have the money to do so.
